Technologies have been developed to satisfy the demands of evolving microsurgical techniques but are not limited to the classical endodontic armamentarium. The most recent example is the implementation of the Piezosurgical technique for root end surgery. Restrictive soft tissue access, substantial cortical plate thicknesses and unusual anatomy present the dichotomy of visualization/manipulation versus post-surgical regeneration. The featured clinical cases highlight the adaptability and versatility of this new technology in this challenging surgical arena.
Learning Objectives:
Evaluate the tissue selectivity of the Piezo and it’s advantages in certain clinical environments
Contrast the visibility and precision of root end procedures performed using Piezo versus conventional handpiece
Assess the adaptability of this technology for “novel” surgical corrections.
